For The Very First Time

I opened that letter and was astonished, I got accepted! Into my dream college! I was so happy my emotions were like a volcanic eruption. I was so excited, I couldn’t wait to tell my parents. “Absolutely not Aurora! That’s too far” my parents exclaimed, " but mom it's my dream school, and I can pay for it.” “Well how are you gonna do that?” my dad asks. “I’ll get a high paying job, I have a couple things I have in mind” I say. “Fine, but you have to come visit, deal?” My parents say, I respond “Deal.” I leave for California tomorrow. I stayed with my parents for the last time before I head off to the big world. I waved my parents goodbye as I boarded the plane. They profusely cried as I took off. They sent me with money so I could bolster myself the first few weeks while I look for a job. My first week in California was great, so many nice people. There were some very erudite people in my classes. Much smarter than the people back at home. Then I saw him, the most beautiful boy ever. It was like seeing a real life angel for the very first time. He had the most verdant eyes, sparkling in the sun as he smiled, his hair was a bright blonde and the most extravagant curls ever seen by a person. I was so glad that I saw him while I was shopping. I thought I wouldn’t see him again but to my sheer luck he goes to my school, and he is in all my classes. Love at first sight. Me and him have been talking for a few weeks now, we get along so well. Especially on projects, my teacher assigned us a collaboration together. That’s how we started talking, we are now great friends. I think he might ask me on a date soon. Noah was the first guy to treat me like this. There is one problem though, there's this girl who is obsessed with him, her name is Bianca. She is always trying to sabotage me and him, but it always backfires on her. Let me tell you, this girl was so egocentric and mean. She was always trying to relegate me, but I never let it get to me. I always told my friends JJ and Lia this aphorism whenever she tried something, “What goes around comes around”. I got back to my dorm and took a nap. I woke up to a call from my parents. They were probably feeling a bit estranged from their daughter, I almost forgot about them with all the fun I was having. I answered and told them all about how my life was going and told my mom about the boy I met. I told her his name is Noah. She was proud of me, my dad was a bit upset but he eventually came around. I also told them about this place I recently discovered, it was a cozy library that you could sleep in. I thought about working there, and my friend, JJ, recommended it for me. It was a utopia, it was so peaceful and nice. I decided to submit a job application, and I was accepted almost immediately. I start working tomorrow! My first day was amazing, I found out Noah works at the library as well. On the same exact days as me, wow how lucky am I? We were working together now, we got even closer. I thought about asking him to go on a date but I was scared. But as soon as I walked through the door on Monday he had flowers and chocolates. I said yes before he even asked, it was a spontaneous decision. Now when Bianca found out she was mad, like really, really mad. The next week was so bad. Bianca was an impetus, she was trying to break us up. It was like she was trying to eradicate me or something. Was there ever a time she just left us alone? No, she was unscrupulous. Then Friday came, that’s when I snapped. I saw her all over Noah before class started, he was trying to push her off but she wouldn't budge. I marched over there and grabbed her, I slapped her hard across the face. Her face turned wan, she was in shock that I had just done that. It was a loud slap too, I stupefied everyone in the room. After that day Bianca never tried to mess with me or Noah again, but she would still glare at me from time to time. The next semester was a bit different, me and Noah’s two month anniversary was around the corner and I wanted to do something nice for him. I had just joined an art class as an elective, so I had a plan. The teacher said there was a contest coming up, and she sanctioned us to make whatever we want. I entered the contest and began working on my masterpiece, the show was the day before me and Noah's anniversary. The final due date came around, and I turned mine in. The day the art pieces were displayed in the contest, my piece won. I got a huge cash prize and bought Noah a gift to go with the painting. The next day Noah took me out on a date, it was amazing. I gave him my gifts, he was so happy. The painting was an abstract picture of us the first time we went on a date, and these shoes he’s been dying to get. There was a minutiae of designs on the shoes, they were limited edition. After that day Noah and I spent a lot more time together. Bianca as bak, trying to break us up. So I told her “Bianca you are so negligible, no one cares what you have to say. No one even bothers listening to you blab your fat mouth”. Bianca cried that day, she was now a subordinate. She always listens to what I have to say now. The next few weeks went smoothly, except this one specific teacher. Mr. Blake, he was the meanest, heinous person you’ll ever meet. It was impossible to get an A in his class. Especially for me, it was like he hated me or something. It was an estrangement between me and Noah because he was the star student in Mr. Blakes class, I think Mr. Blake picked favorites. But I was very docile about it, our old English teacher loved me. But then I found out something crazy about Mr. Blake. I was doing some research to see why he was so mean. Then I came across something, an article on Mr. Blake. He was a criminal, not for something big but it was still an illicit action. I told Noah about it and he said he already knew, “so that’s why you are so great in his class?” I said. “Maybe” Noah replied. The next class I stayed back so I could confront him about it. Mr. Blake was surprised I had found it and told me not to tell anyone. I promised him, the next test I got a 100! Then my mom called me and told me dad was dying, so I started crying. Noah comforted me, I told him I need to go visit him for one last time. Noah helped me pack and helped me book a plane ticket. I took off, when I landed I hugged my mom so hard. We went to visit him for the very last time. We said our goodbyes and left.
